Chapter Nine, The Four Divine Lords

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hello everyone, I am Guo Xin, the head of the Market Information Department at Tianyu Auction. Regarding the recent incident of the sealed box being robbed, we have completed our preliminary investigation

During the entire process of the robbery, he only had a brief encounter with Miss Leng. Aside from that, he did not harm anyone on the spacecraft. The only thing we are currently unable to ascertain is how he passed through the body of the spacecraft, entered its interior, and later left with such composure

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could that bastard, that bastard, be Zeus?" Cold Lingxi, who had not yet settled down, instantly sprang up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "How could Zeus do such despicable things? How could he rob like an interstellar pirate! Absolutely impossible, my Zeus would never do such a thing!"

"Your Zeus?" Luo Dong looked at her with some confusion

Director Luo tapped his fingers on the table, interrupting Guo Xin's words

... ...

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive, with no one speaking, only the faint sound of breathing. A cup of water, filled to seven-tenths, remained at the same level of overflow on the table.

In the center of the room, there is a long table that can accommodate twenty people. The ends of the table are curved, and at the end of the curve, it suddenly straightens out, then bends and extends, forming the two long sides of the table

The index finger of her left hand tapped on the table, and she silently thought to herself: He is Zeus

Guo Xin paused for a moment, and his originally calm expression suddenly turned serious. "Our current conclusion is that what the robber said to Miss Leng Lingxi may be true. He really is Zeus! The Zeus among the Four Divine Lords!"

Guo Xindao: "The power of Zeus is lightning. If one wishes to enter a spacecraft unnoticed and incapacitate you in the blink of an eye, it is likely that only a being of Zeus's caliber could achieve such a feat"

Guo Xindao: "Through on-site investigations, we found that the T-25 space shuttle, which was accompanied by Miss Leng Lingxi and twenty-two escorts, was not damaged at all. Only the internal monitoring system malfunctioned for a period of time. Based on numerous details and some subtle traces, we have made a preliminary judgment"

Director Luo was the first to leave, followed by Guo Xin, and the others subsequently exited as well

The originally quiet room of www.hetushucom.com instantly became a cacophony, with almost every person's face reflecting shock.

... ...

Conclusion, I want to hear the conclusion

The tables and chairs are produced by a furniture brand named Francisco Melon. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, this brand, originating from ancient Italy, was known for crafting various pieces of furniture for the royal families of ancient Europe

The robbers must have approached the space shuttle using mechs, taking advantage of the shuttle's deceleration as it entered the atmosphere to get close. They employed an unknown method to simulate the spatial magnetic field current, stealthily penetrating the shuttle's protective shield. Subsequently, they attached the mechs to the top of the space shuttle

Guo Xin looked at Leng Lingxi with some sympathy; being hijacked on her first important mission, he could deeply understand the feelings of this talented and beautiful girl

Upon hearing these words, Leng Lingxi, who had been in a daze, suddenly raised her head and gritted her teeth, asking: "Who is it? Who on earth is it?"

The twenty chairs on both sides of the long table are carved from solid wood. The backs of the chairs are intentionally sculpted into an arc shape, which is highly ergonomic, making it difficult to feel fatigued even after sitting for a long time. The hollowed-out pattern on the table features two eagles standing opposite each other, with their eyes, as well as each feather and contour, crafted from polished bark of different hues, just like the tabletop.

Leng Lingxi's gaze was somewhat vacant; she suddenly recalled what that guy had said when he was leaving

At this moment, most of the seats on either side of the table were occupied. Sitting at the head of the table was an elderly man, approximately in his sixties, with neatly combed silver hair. His black formal attire highlighted his noble demeanor

Her voice was somewhat hysterical, drawing the attention of everyone present

The elder said in a deep voice: "Come in"

You are a young lady of taste and discernment

Miss Leng, please remain calm

The middle-aged man stood beside the elder, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the people on either side of the long table, ultimately resting on a somewhat pale and somewhat dazed beautiful face, revealing a hint of compassion in his eyes

Leng Lingxi remained seated there without moving

Thus, repeat!

Is the investigation clear?

Then the robber entered the spacecraft, appearing directly in the first-class cabin. His timing was impeccable, coinciding perfectly with the moment when all the first-class passengers were just waking from a deep sleep. He used an electric current to incapacitate everyone except Miss Leng. He then incapacitated Miss Leng as well, seized the secure box from her, and left calmly.

The door was knocked upon.

The index finger of her right hand tapped on the table, and she silently thought to herself: He is not Zeus

The typical ancient French wall decoration is illuminated by handcrafted pure copper gilded wall lamps, casting a luxurious and bright glow throughout the room. The large chandelier on the ceiling is also made of polished pure copper, but it incorporates various techniques such as gilding and enamel. The entire oval chandelier features over one hundred candle holders, each adorned with a light golden dragon pattern, with soft flames flickering atop the candles.

This is a room with exquisite decor, measuring 100 square meters. The arrangement is not complicated, yet it exudes extreme luxury

Is it possible that he really is? But, but he has always been calling me a fool! That scoundrel!

Leng Lingxi's face flushed, "Zeus is my idol. How could it possibly be that one who only knows..." At this point, the image that appeared before her was nothing but that detestable face that emitted a "heh heh" laugh

Mr. Luo made a gesture of restraint towards Leng Lingxi, who took several heavy breaths before returning to her seat.

The long table features ancient patterns that are vivid and exude a sense of grandeur. Upon closer inspection, one will notice that these patterns are not embossed or carved. Instead, they are crafted from different colored tree bark, polished and assembled in the form of small fragments, seamlessly pieced together to create this magnificent and classical wood grain

Let me explain to everyone. The old man waved his hand

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, Director Luo."

Silence! The authoritative voice of Director Luo restored order to the conference room. This time, the secure box was robbed, and our Tianyu Auction House suffered significant losses. The first-level escort, Leng Lingxi, who was responsible for the transport task, has been demoted to second-level and all escort tasks are suspended. All other escort personnel will face a three-month salary penalty. As for the identity of the robbers, I will verify it. Meeting adjourned!

The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a white Armani suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that gave him an intellectual air, walked in from outside. He quickly approached the elderly man and stood still beside him, placing a document on the desk in front of the elder.
